This project employs a two-phase mixed methods approach. It will evaluate theacademic performance of FG versus CG engineering students while leveraging the theoreticalframeworks of engineering identity development [1] and social capital [2] to explore theirexperiences.

result, further research is needed to understand the impact of online learning onlaboratory-based engineering courses. Online learning has numerous benefits, including the convenience and flexibility itprovides. However, it has also raised concerns about the disparities faced by minority studentswho lack access to technology, experience social isolation, face technical difficulties, and lackadequate support. These inequalities have been an ongoing issue for over two decades and havebeen further exacerbated by the shift to emergency online learning brought on by the COVID-19pandemic. This is particularly important for minority students as the courses in Engineeringprograms are often prerequisites for further coursework and professional

technologically literate society is considered to be one of the main goals ofprimary and secondary education. At the heart of technological literacy would be a knowledge ofthe nature of engineering (NOE) upon which content knowledge in engineering/technology couldbe built. Technological literacy of this nature cannot be developed among elementary schoolstudents, however, without dedicated and well-informed teachers. That raises the question: Whatshould teachers know to promote technological literacy and spread it in their students’ hearts andminds? We believe that an appropriate view of the NOE can play a role in the development ofengineering and technology literacy that is similar to the role that an appropriate view of thenature of science (NOS) plays
